Xemnas has mentioned himself that he has viewed Xion as Ven as well, and being the Nobody of Xehanort, means that in the past Xehanort and his assistants most likely confronted Ven at some point of time.

"Author: Xemnas - Xion's appearance should vary based on the relation of the viewer to her. Saïx sees her simply as a puppet. The Program approaches completion. Through Roxas, Xion is assembling a copy of the hero of the Keyblade. As proof, she sometimes appears to take on his form to my eyes."

It's already been confirmed that the first 5 Nobodies in Org. XIII (Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus and Zexion) were originally assistants for Xehanort before they became Nobodies. Original names were Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus and Ienzo.

And considering Xion was a replica infused with memories of Sora, this pretty much screams "Ven has a huge connection with Sora".

hmm interesting. really interesting. This is beginning to make Birth by Sleep quite the prequel game that will answer everyone's questions throughout Kingdom Hearts.

Spoiler for so:

Kinda weird. those five probably saw Xion as Ven as well, since they were Xehanort's assistants. Seeing their old enemy must have felt pretty weird for them. But we don't know if Xehanort was really the enemy in Birth By Sleep. In the special trailers that I saw, seems like Xehanort (if thats the old guy) was talking to Ven. Not as an enemy though....

All merely speculation though.
hahaha I'm back to being a huge fan of Kingdom Hearts. Can't stop talking about the upcoming events in Birth By Sleep. hahahah

oh...I always find these threads after people stop posting in them. lol, well if anyone sees this...since they still werent revealed in this game, when do you guys think we'll learn the remaining true names of the other members? If Im not mistaken, we still dont know:

Spoiler for Maybe a spoiler?:

Demyx, Larxene, Marluxia or Saix

also, sorry if this isnt the place to ask, but how do you think Demyx is supposed to be pronounced? as far as I know, it was only said once in KHII: Final Mix, which was in japanese...I'm used to it like this: "De-mix", but someone said its supposed to be "Dee-meex" or something like that. Xigbar was never said either, but Im pretty sure its said as "Zigbar".

Sorry if its a bad question, but I havent played Days yet, so if its said there then I wouldnt know.

Everyone's allowed to have their own opinion, there's no need to argue about it or pay it any mind. If you don't enjoy a game, it's your right and it's probably just annoying to have people telling you how good it is.

I wanted to ask you guys something. I'm a fellow KH fan, having played all the games except this. I've heard mixed opinions about the game, so I don't know if I should buy it or rent it. What do you recommend?

First of all, storywise, this game does not tell us what we already do not know about Roxas year worth of work in Organisation XIII.

Second, due to the DS technical limitation, you will be mostly doing the same thing day in and day out throughout the game's timing of one year.

But if you are a fan of those Black Hooded fellows and feel like controlling them, by all means play it. If not, go for BBS.

Like Makube said, the DS limitations make the game look rather inferior to past KHs, but for what DS can do, I say that it's better than KH or KH2 on the uberly more powerful PS2.

Since you played all the games, you prob should get 358/2 Days, for the story and fill-in on Roxas if for nothing else. The game really falls into place and fills the holes that exist in KH, Com, and KH2 limited knowledge. Pretty much everything left unanswered so far is answered (even stuff that has nothing to do with Org. XIII), and it raises a question or two that will undoubtedly be answered in BBS. I've also played all the other main KH games, and over the years have made speculations about all those questions that were still unanswered. 358/2 Days answered most of them satisfyingly.

Verdict: 358/2 Days is best if seen and treated as an answer game. Like I said before, I think of it as the Kai or Answer Arc to the other games with regard to Roxas.
If you're looking to play purely for gameplay, it's still worth buying, but the Panel system that replaces the AP system is more of a more customizable upgrade of AP than something totally new, and isn't as nearly as dramatic a change as the Card system in CoM. The game isn't a button masher like KH2, but it's still pretty easy on the Normal setting; a few bosses will get you stuck, but it'll always be strategy that will beat them, not necessarily grinding and backtracking like in KH. 358/2 Days also ditched the dumb@ss "hit the Triangle button to do amazing impossible things (cheap tricks)!!!11" thing that made KH2 pathetically easy even on its hardest setting, which in my opinion is a good thing.
Story Mode doesn't quite live up to the KH series's tradition of being like a Disney theme park, a lengthy journey with beautiful graphics to ogle all the way. The only way the graphics will be beautiful is if you never played anything but DS games, and the game might be a little lengthier if you partake in the Single or Multiplayer Mission Mode. I personally don't like Mission Mode, since my only reason to play it Single Player was to get more items when I opened all the treasures in Story Mode (it's not very fun by yourself), and Multiplayer is crippled by the lack of DS Download Play. A multiplayer DS game without Download Play is like a seventh generation home console game without Wi-Fi capabilities: it just don't make sense when all your competitors have it.

That's an intresting theory. Xion's face that resembles Kairi was a result of her being a memory of Sora about Kairi. Thus, making her face similiar to her...but what about Ven ? What does he had anything to do with Sora ?

Ven and Sora did meet at Destiny Island... I think some interview or stuff had stated that. Check wiki.

One thing that was strange is that why did anyone didn't see Ven except for Xigbar. Does having a strong memory of Ven was required to see his face under Xion's cloak ? Hm..

OKay I love kH and all but this one is so hard. The other's were easy.
I can't get past the heartless (don't know the name but it's purple) in olympus.
Can some one give me some tips?
At the moment all i'm doing is running close by it when it''s walking , when i stops i attack, move away when it stops attacking. But i get really close to wining but i always die.
